The Harry Harris CUSU LGBT+ Library Welcome to the library: we hope you enjoy your stay :-) This folder contains: • a catalogue of our books, DVDs and CDs and magazines • a list of online resources of potential interest • a few words about Harry and why we named this collection after him • instructions on how to use the library Instructions To your right, there should be books, CDs, films. To your left, there should be a number of small boxes, labelled “suggestions”, “borrowing slips” and “returns”. For a guide to the resources, please read the rest of the catalogue – each item is listed with its title and author, along with a guide to which letters of the LGBT+ umbrella it deals with, and a summary of any potentially triggering content we're aware of. To take a resource out, please fill out a borrowing slip with your name, college, and CRSid, along with the date and the title of the resource you're borrowing (!), and place it in the box. Standard loans are two weeks for books and one week for all other items – if you have any impairments that mean you need a longer loan time, please get in touch on [email protected] and let us know. If something you're looking for isn't out on the shelves, please feel free to take a peek in the returns box in case we haven't got around to reshelving it yet – but do fill in a borrowing slip as normal. To return a resource, please place it in the “returns” box and we'll get it back on the shelves as soon as possible. If you know you're going to be late getting a resource back, please let us know on lgbt- [email protected] so we don't start badgering you. If things go wrong, e.g. you forget to return a book and you forget to e-mail us to ask for an extension, no worries – just let us know and get it back to us as soon as possible. We don't currently have any system of fines; on the other hand, if you felt like making a donation towards future purchases to soothe your conscience, we wouldn't object ;) There's a jar in the returns box for this purpose. If things go really wrong (you microwave a DVD, drop a book in the Cam, etc) we will ask you to cover the cost of a reasonable-quality replacement – the average price of resources is £6, so this shouldn't hurt too much.. If you want to make a suggestion, please write the title of the resource (and any other details you have, e.g. ISBN, a rough guide to the subject matter and any content warnings, an estimate of the price) on a piece of paper and drop it in the suggestions box. Alternatively, please e-mail us on lgbt- [email protected] with the same details! If you want to make a donation, please get in touch with us on (you guessed it) lgbt- [email protected] and we can sort out the details. We're only too delighted to accept donations of resources, and if you're short on ideas, there's a list of suggestions and planned purchases on the website. Money matters are a little more involved but we're very happy to make it work. :-) Books Books are shelved as fiction and as general and academic non-fiction, alphabetically by author within each category.

If you’re in the Bay Area or used to live there, you probably heard the news that The Lexington Club has recently been sold, and will be closing in a few months. When it closes, San Francisco will be left with exactly zero dedicated lesbian bars in its city limits. Which sounds impossible. No lesbian bars? In one of the gay-friendliest cities in the country? The same city where America’s first lesbian bar, Mona’s 440 Club, opened in the mid-1930s? So I set out to investigate the State of the San Francisco Lesbian Bar. http://www.autostraddle.com/the-state-of-the-lesbian-bar-san-francisco-toasts-to-the-end-of-an-era-262072/ 1/12 11/11/2014 The State of the Lesbian Bar: San Francisco Toasts To The End Of An Era | Autostraddle The End of an Era For many folks in the Bay Area, the Lex was almost a rite of passage. It was their baby queer refuge, the place where they met a community of people just like them, where they found their lovers and their families.

You can also send suggestions to ​ ​ [email protected]. ​ About the Syllabus: In society today, we are presented with a paradox of sorts: on one hand, there have been significant social and political advances regarding sexual orientation and gender identity. Yet, on ​ ​ the other hand, with increasing visibility and progress, there is also a simultaneous and almost inevitable increase in the backlash targeting the most vulnerable segments of the LGBTQ population--trans and non-binary people. In 2017 alone, the Human Rights Campaign has recorded at least 27 death of trans people in the United States due to fatal violence, making it the most violent year against trans people to date. It is also clear that trans violence and oppression disproportionately affects trans women of color, and that racism, sexism, classism, ableism, homophobia, and transphobia intersect in ways that shorten the lives of trans people (Spade 2015). Additionally, trans people experience social, economic, and political marginalization due to the lack of legal representation, barriers to gender-affirming healthcare, legal name and gender changes, physical spaces, and other seemingly neutral administrative systems that enforce narrow binary categories of gender and force people into them in order to get their basic needs met.

It provides an original overview of the themes, strengths and limitations encountered in representations of same-sex love across multiple institutions and examples of public history. This thesis argues that positively, there have been many developments in archives, museums, historic houses, monuments and digital public history that make histories of same-sex love more accessible to the public, and that these forms of public history have evolved to be participatory and inclusive of margnialised communities and histories. It highlights ways that Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans*, Queer (LGBTQ) communities have contributed to public histories of same-sex love and thus argues that public history can play a significant role in the formation of personal and group identities. It also argues that despite this progression, there are many ways in which histories of same-sex love remain excluded from, or are represented with significant limitations, in public history.

    Intersections of Dress, Identity, and Anxiety in the Queer Women's

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Kelly L. Reddy-Best for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Design and Human Environment presented on June 10, 2013. Title: Fashioning Queer Bodies: Intersections of Dress, Identity, and Anxiety in the 4XHHU:RPHQ¶V Community Abstract approved: Elaine L. Pedersen The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship of dress and queer women and how their sexual identity influences their appearance management behaviors. I answered the following research questions: (1) How is gender identity constructed and negotiated in different spaces for queer? (2) Does sexual identity influence dress choices of queer women? (3) Where do queer women look for fashion styles and trends? (4) :KDWDUHTXHHUZRPHQ¶VH[SHULHQFHV with shopping for clothing and accessories? (5) Do queer women feel anxiety, pressure, or discrimination from the fashion system and the appearance management behaviors in which they participate due to their sexual identity? To answer my research questions I conducted 20 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 20 queer women living in the United States. After the first interview, each participant completed a short survey and took a picture of their outfit for 14 days. At the end of each week, the participants completed a follow-up interview. I coded the interviews in three phases and looked for emergent themes and patterns. Based on the results of this study I found that there is not one single way of being or becoming a queer women. Most women in the sample did not feel a strong connection to masculinity or femininity. Fourteen women explained they felt in-between or androgynous.

Usando teorías feministas, poshumanistas, queer, sobre diversidad funcional y raza, estos conceptos son considerados tecnologías cuyos componentes pueden ser estudiados, deconstruidos y reconstruidos por el objeto técnico que es el dibujo animado, una herramienta cuyo significado es coestablecido por el público. Utilizando este marco conceptual para analizar la narrativa de la serie y para crear encuestas orientadas a entender cómo las nociones del público sobre género y raza pueden influir en la narrativa de la serie, el artículo concluye que Steven Universe crea un relato queer que pretende desmantelar nociones contemporáneas sobre género, raza y diversidad funcional. Sin embargo, al utilizar los componentes que forman estas tecnologías, la serie puede reproducir representaciones estereotípicas si no tiene en cuenta los imaginarios adscritos a ellos. Palabras clave: animación, ciencia-ficción, poshumanismo, racialización, género, sexualidad, diversidad funcional, Steven Universe. ABSTRACT This article analyses how the cartoon show Steven Universe both underpins and defies normative understandings of race, gender and able-bodiedness.
